    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Chiricahua Leopard Frog (Rana chiricahuensis) Final Recovery Plan April 2007 CHIRICAHUA LEOPARD FROG (Rana chiricahuensis) RECOVERY PLAN Southwest Region U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Albuquerque, New Mexico DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and are sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, state agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director, or Director, as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks.

    MUSEUM OF NEW MEXICO OFFICE OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES U.S. 84 SUNSHINE VALLEY: THE TESTING OF THREE SITES SOUTHEAST OF SANTA ROSA, NEW MEXICO by Peter Y. Bullock Submitted by Timothy D. Maxwell Principal Investigator ARCHAEOLOGY NOTES 176 SANTA FE 1997 NEW MEXICO ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY Between October 30 and November 10, 1994, the Office of Archaeological Studies, Museum of New Mexico, conducted limited archaeological testing atthree sites on U.S. 84 southeast of Santa Rosa, Guadalupe County, New Mexico. Limited testing at LA 105817, LA 57152, and LA 103315 was conducted at the request of the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department (NMSHTD), to determine the extent and importance of cultural resources present as partof the proposed improvements alonga 12.8-km (8 miles) stretch of U.S. 84 southeast of Sank Rosa, New Mexico (Levine 1994). LA 103315 is on private and NMSHTD- aquired land. The other two sites (LA105817 and LA 57152) are on State Trust Land. All three sites are surface lithic artifact scatters, and probably represent temporary or seasonal camping locations.No intact features were foundon any of the sites associated with site occupation or use. In all three cases the data potentialof the portions of the sites within theproject area was determined to be minimal beyond that already documented, and no further investigations are recommended.

  • Canoa Ranch Groundwater Evaluation
    Canoa Ranch Groundwater Evaluation Hydrologic Evaluation of the Occurrence and Nature of Groundwater, and Water Level Trends and Water Balance Related to Future Water Resource Use in the Canoa Ranch Area, Upper Santa Cruz Basin, Pima County, Arizona By Frank G. Postillion, C.G.W.P. Chief Hydrologist David Scalero, Principal Hydrologist Mark Krieski, P.E. Engineering Manager Pima County Regional Flood Control District Executive Summary The Water Resources Division of the Pima County Regional Flood Control District has conducted a hydrologic evaluation of the Canoa Ranch and vicinity, with a focus on the historical and current water balance and how it has affected local groundwater- level conditions, and the potential impacts on the hydro- and meso-riparian vegetation of the Ranch. Numerous data sources were evaluated during the study, including the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR), Pima County, Pima Association of Governments, and consulting reports. The Canoa Ranch hydrologic study area is centered along the Santa Cruz River (SCR) from the Santa Cruz/Pima County Line in Pima County, Arizona to about 7.5 miles downstream along the River (Figure 1-1). Large portions of the study area along the SCR (4,800 acres) are owned by Pima County as part of the old Canoa Ranch; Elephant Head Road from the South to Santa Rita Springs Development and the Farmers Investment Company (FICO) on the north; from Interstate 19 on the west to the floodplain pediments on the east. The historic Canoa Ranch is undergoing building restoration and is slated for riparian restoration in some targeted areas.
